About Me

I try to live according to serenity prayer: 'grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference'. And the law of attraction is one of my guiding principles: put positive energy into those things you want to attract; live your life based on love and not on fear. I love life and consider the challenges I encounter as experiences I can learn from most.
Thus I left my birth country of Germany in my twenties and travelled the world before I settled in Kenya, which is still my primary home. I have engaged myself for women's rights, youth empowerment and sustainable living in general.
Now that I am retired I see my role more as coach, mentor and advisor. I have accumulated so much knowledge, skills and experience which I believe are important to share with whoever wants to learn.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

I help schoolchildren and adults to learn both German and English. With fun and empathy. What distinguishes my lessons is that I have a lot of patience for my students and practice with them until they understand it. Everyone loves teaching with me. I respond to my students' requests and my goal is to help students make progress without burdening them. I give assignments after every lesson and create regular progress reports.

As a certified examiner and experienced trainer for German (foreign language), I prepare you individually for the telc German and Goethe certificate exams.

Why with me?
I know the telc German exams and Goethe certificate exams in detail. You will not only learn the parts of the exam, but also the best strategy for solving each part of the exam and the tasks.

Efficient preparation:
As a rule, 10 appointments are enough if you already have good prior knowledge. We focus on you passing the exam.

Ideal if you already have good previous knowledge. In just 10 appointments you will learn the exam format, the tasks and the best strategy.

Do you need more time before the exam?
Do you still have gaps, your knowledge of German is not sufficient or you have been living in Germany for a long time and it has been a long time since your last course? We will then add the most important topics relevant to the exam so that you are optimally prepared.

The German language is currently in high demand in the labor market, and Germany accepts scholarships for study or work, so learning the German language has become necessary for anyone who wants to study or work at an advanced level.
The German language is not difficult, but it requires effort, regularity, and follow-up with the teacher, as well as making sure to attend classes with concentration.

Learning about people isn't easy, but it's not necessarily frustrating. Once I was in Austria, after I had completed my studies at the age of four, I understood the difficulties students faced and my subsequent encounters.

During my time, I developed practical strategies to help the apprentice of any clear, natural, and pleasant person. I focus on oral expression and comprehension, and explore the fundamentals of grammar and vocabulary within their context.

The courses are based on your pace and interests, including exercises that help you practice speaking, build your confidence, and prepare you for exams if you decide to take the test. After telling a story in German, your grammar wasn't particularly good.

Each course is tailored to your needs, with a mix of discussions, exercises, and concrete examples that you can memorize. My goal is to help you progress with the rule, maintain your motivation, and understand the training process.

Flexible scheduling allows you to easily fit the course into your week, whether after school, on weekends, or in the evenings. Book a course and start learning a method that works for you, including all sorts of tips, tricks, and practical advice.

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.
